The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, is seeking a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for court reporting services to create verbatim transcripts of various legal proceedings. The solicitation requires court reporting professionals to attend meetings, conferences, depositions, and administrative hearings, both virtually and in-person, with a focus on capturing precise spoken dialogue and creating accurate transcripts. Contractors must be able to use specialized equipment like stenography machines, video and audio recording devices, and demonstrate expertise in reporting speaker identifications, gestures, and actions. The evaluation will be based on the lowest overall price, with contractors required to have at least two years of experience and certification from the National Court Reporters Association. The solicitation was originally posted on April 8, 2025, with an amended response deadline of May 7, 2025, at 1:00 PM Central Time.
The contract is set aside for Total Small Business, specifically targeting Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) vendors, with no information provided about incumbent contractors. The BPA will establish up to six commercial service contracts with a total size standard of $19,000,000, and individual call orders will have a maximum limit of $250,000, with an overall maximum capacity of $5,000,000. The contract will run from May 12, 2025, to May 11, 2030, covering legal proceedings across nine states: Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The primary place of performance is Nashville, Tennessee, and the services will support proceedings for agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Merit Systems Protection Board. Contractors must also maintain security clearance, complete cybersecurity training, and comply with federal regulations regarding information protection and reporting.
